These protein pancakes are fluffy, light, and so easy to make. I kid you not, these will take you about 10 minutes from start to finish. Which makes them the perfect weekday or weekend breakfast. These babies are not only protein packed, but full of complex carbs and healthy fats to keep you satisfied for a long time. They are also made with simple and clean ingredients, meaning they are super allergen friendly as well;)

Ingredients for high protein pancakes:
- TumLove vanilla protein powder (or any protein powder. Just make sure they reach your dietary needs)
- Oat flour (use gluten free oats if you need. To make oat flour, simply throw a few cups of oats into a blender until it becomes a fine powder. Store the extra in a container for future use!)
- Coconut flour (can omit, but helps immensely with texture. If you don’t use coconut flour add less milk and another tbsp of oat flour.)
- Maple syrup (a little bit goes a long way!)
- Ripe banana (you won’t be able to taste it)
- Egg
- Almond milk (or any type of milk. We use this to thin the batter out, but it may depend on your protein powder and assuming you use coconut flour.)
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Cinnamon
- Topping ideas: maple syrup (obviously), butter, fresh fruit, nut butter, chocolate chips, yogurt, whipped cream, etc!
How do I make protein pancakes?
Well, this recipe is a one-bowl recipe. Which means you literally throw everything into a bowl (wet ingredients first then dry) and mix. Then BOOM, you can start flipping away. You could also make this recipe in the blender, but it may over-mix the batter and can make the pancakes more dense. Once the batter is mixed, you will heat up a skillet with some coconut oil or cooking spray and begin cooking the pancakes. This recipe makes the perfect single-serve amount for breakfast. If you want to double or triple this recipe to have throughout the week, I would highly recommend doing so!
Allergen friendly?
These pancakes can be made gluten free, dairy free, low FODMAP (thanks to a protein powder like TumLove;). I love recipes like these because they can be served to anyone and enjoyed by all! Plus they are made with clean ingredients, making them a healthy and simple breakfast.
